Sweet forgiveness

That's what you give to me

When you hold me close

And you say "That's all over "

You don't go looking back

You don't hold the cards to stack

'Cause you mean what you say

Sweet forgiveness you help me see

I'm not near as bad

As I sometimes appear to be

When you hold me close

And you say "That's all over

"And I still love you "

There's no way that I could make up

For those angry words I said

Sometimes it gets to hurting

And the pain goes to my head

Sweet forgiveness dear God above

I say we all deserve

A taste of this kind of love

Someone who'll hold our hand

And whisper "I understand

"And I still love you "

There's no way that I could make up

For those angry words I said

Sometimes it gets to hurting

And the pain goes to my head

Sweet forgiveness dear God above

I say we all deserve

A taste of this kind of love

Someone who'll hold our hand

And whisper "I understand

"And I still love you "
